Personal and communal integrity are threatened and/or

Efforts to promote the virtues on the right above,
when they occur in the absence of the virtues on the left
above, are efforts which undermine personal integrity ---
because they are efforts which encourage people to use
dishonesty as a tool which is useful in achieving the
virtues on the right, without regard for the virtues on
the left.
A lack of balance in emphasis leads to dishonesty and
disintegration. A respected lack of balance in emphasis
amounts to giving instructions to use dishonesty as a
practical tool.
It is dishonest on the part of leaders to pretend
that a lack of balance does not engender a pattern of
instructions to be dishonest within set of collusive games
of mutual deception played by leaders and followers ---all
of whom become the victims of the efforts to get ahead
dishonestly.
Balance is essential to true personal and communal
integrity.
Imbalance, intolerance, extremism, and fanaticism are
disintegrative of both persons and communities.
